<p>Cornell ChemE, with about 45,000 in debt at graduation</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>Hopkins ChemE, no debt
CMU, no debt</p>
<p>also, U of MD, but I'd rather not...</p>
<p>(listed in order of preference)</p>
<p>umm...HOPKINS is amazing</p>
<p>especially their BME program...go for HOPKINS man!</p>
<p>I would definately recommend the no debt options!</p>
<p>I'm assuming the JHU ChemE dep't (now known as Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) is amazing or so I've heard. Feel free to correct.</p>
<p>scorp, that's pretty much the reassurance I'm looking to find. I know I shouldnt care about the ratings, but Cornell engineering is overall ranked higher. the catch is that jhu chemical is higher than cornell. hmmm</p>
<p>Yeah the ChemBEs at JHU are pretty hard core. I don't know about the exact rankings but they are some of the most hard core people on campus.</p>
<p>No debt. My brother has his ChemE degree from Cornell with around 40k in debt. Cornell is an excellent school but it wouldn't make any sense to pay 40k for it if you can get an equally good education with no debt somewhere else. Cornell isn't some magical place that will guarantee the best job offers, so I would choose another school.</p>
